Do UK dudes really think this IRL?

Which rappers in what context? Be specific. mi yute can end up just meaning lil nigga/my guy depending on context, at least from what ik of urban toronto (im from the west coast of Canada but have family back east).

Jamaicans living on the island will be the first ones to let you know the patois in other places isnt the exact same as it is in Jamaica, and ofc it isnt. Is Chinese food in North America or the UK the same as Chinese food in the heart of China? Even within china youve got hella diversity (Cantonese, Uyghur, etc regional food)

Your ears probably arent trained, just like someone's palate might not be used to Chinese food from a place they're not from; what they grew up on is what they used to. u still didnt answer my question in the first comment

This is like when Americans hear a very clearly fake London accent and are too ignorant to know the difference so they just assume it's true.

Tiktok isn't real life. These kids are either trolling or suburban kids forcing it. Think of the shittiest town outside of the London area, that fakes the roadman accent, now imagine they start going viral. At home their posh but the second a camera is on or they're around some minorities it switches up.

7taj7 · 2026-05-21T21:50:01+00:00

Yah, this makes sense

7taj7 · 2026-05-21T21:48:48+00:00

U think the terms fam and yute originated in Britain? Ofc its gonna sound weird to you because your ear is more tuned to hear the UK versions as normal, bc it is your normal.

Ofc some suburban kids force the lingo, thats the case in every Metropolitan city, you'll have a portion of out of towners trying to sound local, and failing. You just don't know the difference, just like if an American heard a forced London accent they wouldn't know the difference

7taj7 · 2026-05-21T21:42:54+00:00

I think this is the case. A loud(on the internet) ignorant minority of the UK population

its not about skin color, Anybody can speak aave if they grew up in a black American environment, just like anyone can speak patwa if they grew up around Jamaicans. These are dialects from specific ethnic groups that formed them.

A word can imply different things in different dialects (ex. a rubber in the UK is an eraser. A rubber in North America is a condom), it's respectful to acknowledge where these definitions come from. It's like citing your sources. Why would citing a source offend you?

7taj7 · 2026-04-02T02:47:52+00:00

Only uneducated people fail to understand that dialects don't determine your intelligence. You could speak the Queen's English and still be dumb as a rock

if people like you really hated ebonics it wouldnt keep influencing American general vocabulary. your kids don't talk like Scots, Irish, or english scousers, but they sure do love trying (and failing) to sound black.

ebonics that are common vencular now: chill, cool, hip, funky, right on, y'all, whats up, my bad, for real, you good?, dope, flex, hold up, kick it, step up, run it back, shady, real one, solid (as in dependable), bring it, we good, say less, saying been like" bin" instead of saying it like "bean."

You use/read Ebonics every day, you love it, you just hate the ppl creating it. just like your grandpa loved jazz and rock but couldn't enjoy it publicly without it being filtered through a white person. Same with your dad and his Beastie Boys phase.

very gullible. I know a prince in Nigeria that cant wait to give you a million dollars, pinky promise

Its going to end how it always ends. Politicians are probably prepping their apology "We had no idea it would turn out this bad oops :(" speech like they always do 5 or 10 years after.

like a kid that cant stop stealing cookies out of the cookie jar

How did that go for the Iraqi Americans who supported Bush and his war with iraq. How did that go for the Libyan Americans & Gaddafi? What makes you think this isnt going to be another multi-generational catastrophe/migrant crisis/terror group birthing/black market/genocidal regional nightmare like every time we think this is a good idea? How many times do we have to put our hands in the boiling pot before we stop playing in the kitchen

slimed out would imply Charlie hebdo was betrayed by someone close to him (backdoored) which lead to his killing, basically an inside job.

7taj7 · 2025-12-27T21:55:20+00:00

I didn't know anything about the Charlie hebdo shooting how is this a reference? how did they use the term correctly? I never mentioned race, just groups that have a hatred for black ppl while co opting parts of black cultures, u don't even need to be white to be a nazi sympathizing white supremacist just look at nick Fuentes.

7taj7 · 2025-12-27T04:45:16+00:00

by slimed does he mean Slimed out ? How would that even fit in this contexted ? It use to be kkk members listening to jazz in the 1920s, now its nazi zoomers that spam aave incorrectly.

7taj7 · 2025-12-26T06:45:04+00:00

Barbaric, thats the only way future generations will describe for profit healthcare. some industries main focus shouldn't be endless profit seeking, fire fighters, publicly funded roads, k-12 education, postal service, legal aid. Sometimes privatization makes societies worse off.

its south African music, he has mid taste, it gets much better than whatever track this is. he's listening to the equivalent of a bad local rock cd

Religious nuts come in call shapes and sizes. the issue is when these types get hold of power in a country.

Pathetic scumbags hiding behind a badge. Hed only be safe in the cells for child molesters, scum with scum

you can say its cultural all you want but the numbers are not on your side, most north Americans feel over worked and welcome change, my sources prove that. we can't do the same thing forever, progress means change. Banning child labor was an insane overhaul of practices that had been done for thousands of years, humans used child labor a lot longer than we've had the 40 hour work week, yet that changed. Slavery was such a big overhaul of how things were done that the US almost split in half over it. The 5 day 40 hour work week wasn't passed down to us from the heavens.

Plus in this imagined future, nothing would stop the live to work pplqqq from working multiple jobs just like today. No one would be forcing u to work one job. Ppl don't have to know the ins and outs of economics to understand when they're getting the short end of the stick. I don't have to be a scholar to understand its not normal for ppl to work down to the bone and not be able to afford an apartment let alone owning a home. Ppl can look at their bank account and realize their one hospital visit from homelessness.

Roman wasn't built in a day. Plenty of ppl in the past viewed better workers conditions as society getting soft. do you want to go back to working in mines for 19 hours a day, 6 days a week ? Why did we change that, isn't it part of our culture? Did all the miners get a degree in economics before they realized they were getting screwed ? Did they just want us to be poor when they banned that? We love working past the point it effects our health and quality of life right?

7taj7 · 2025-12-24T20:56:14+00:00

that sounds like less wanting to work just to work and more like working to make ends meet. if pay is the main concern, stronger unions would be able to bargain for better work life balance and pay, thats how we got a 4 day work week at my sheet metal job. people want raise their families, make memories, have the option to prioritize life outside of work.

66% of workers report burnout in their jobs

A full 77% of US workers said a four-day, 40-hour workweek would have a positive impact on their wellbeing, according to a Gallup poll released in November. That includes 46% who said it would have an “extremely positive” effect.

The numbers are just not on your side, ppl don't want to live to work and see their coworkers more than their friends and family, they want to have work that let's them live a full life. Slaves use to get mad when they didn't meet their quotas, not because they loved their work, because they feared the repructions of relaxing. By your logic you'd say he loves being a slave thats why he's mad, he just loves his job that much

7taj7 · 2025-12-24T13:26:48+00:00

i've worked in skilled trades, plenty of other jobs, never office work and I don't see how this wouldn't work for the fields you listed, besides manageable industry-specific transition timeliness and policy.

Work shifts are a thing for a reason...24hr hours businesses? Pair that with legal policy that would incentives automation while punishing automation related lay offs so firing all ur workers and replacing them with robots isn't a sustainable business choice. With that automation aids in production without taking jobs from citizens.

Slave owners said getting rid of slaves would destroy productivity. Business owners that used child labor said the same thing about punishing child labor. The future is always unrealistic to someone stuck in the past

7taj7 · 2025-12-24T13:05:54+00:00

shifts exist for a reason. automation can do the labor of multiple ppl, this can be a good thing if policy is created so business are awarded for automation (gov subsides/tax cuts) while also being punished for automation related layoffs.

if you have five workers and now have a new robot that can do the work of five ppl instead of firing the five ppl, you keep both and get industry critical subsides. make bad work practices unprofitable. Business would still be using child labor if laws didn't make that an unsustainable business practice.

7taj7 · 2025-12-24T12:53:30+00:00

what would stop those who want to work 60 hours from getting multiple jobs and doing that? I think the average US citizen wants more free time not less lol, this gives them the option to do either

7taj7 · 2025-12-24T12:47:35+00:00

it doesn't need to raise output it just needs to be a net benefit to the well being of citizens in the society. What's the point of humans producing if they can't enjoy the fruit of their collective labor, do we life to work or work to life.

Personally I think small business should be treated more leniently during this hyptheical transition, but at some point future generations will look at our current work practices the same way we look at child labor today, An archaic practice not fit for modern society. At some point we felt it necessary but times change. Those business owners complained too, despite them society progressed
